Michelle Keegan went from pulling pints on the cobbles of Weatherfield to topping Netflix charts all over the world. Most stars get trapped in soapland forever. Not Michelle. She walked away from Coronation Street at the peak of her popularity and stepped straight into prime-time gold.

She took on military stunts in Our Girl, mastered northern comedy in Brassic, and blew up global streaming with Fool Me Once. Married to Mark Wright since 2015, she is one half of an absolute British tabloid dream couple, but it is her knack for picking smash-hit dramas that keeps her right at the top.
